The IP communications domain has matured beyond providing VoIP only
services. Universities, enterprises, businesses and individual
consumers routinely use VoIP. The focus of IP communications is now on
the operations, management, administration and provisioning aspects of
large-scale, reliable and secure communication systems. To this extent,
the research and standardization work now includes log file analysis,
session tracing across proxy meshes and overload control. As IP
communications grapples with these issues, newer technologies in the
form of cloud-based IP communication systems; peer-to-peer VoIP
networks; use of IP communications in virtual worlds; social
networks and IP communications are starting to assert a strong
presence in the IP communications domain.

The aim of the IPTComm conference is to serve as a platform for
researchers from academia, research labs, industry and government to
share their ideas, views, results and experiences in the field of
IP-based telecommunication. IPTComm will include presentations of
theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative systems,
prototyping efforts, case studies, and advancements in technology.

We invite authors to submit papers in the following and related areas:

* The role of IP communications in the power grid.
* Open source development in IP communications.
* Research issues in vertical IP communication markets (e.g.,
privacy in the medical field, location in logistical
field, etc.)
* Regulatory issues in IP communications.

IPTComm solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in two-column
ACM conference format
(see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). All
submissions must describe original research, not published nor
currently under review for another conference or journal. The program
committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings. Papers will also be published in
the ACM Digital Library.

In 2010, IPTComm will be accepting short papers of at least 5 pages and
no more than 6 pages. The aim of the short paper category is to help
maintain a published record of work carried out as well as facilitate
future affiliations and foster collaborative work. Short papers are
subject to the same rigorous review process as full papers and follow
the same submission process, schedule and expectation of presentation as
the full papers.
